Vanta compliance automation, through Shadowbear
Vanta automates evidence collection and control monitoring for SOC 2, ISO 27001, CMMC, and NIST SP 800-171. Buy it through Shadowbear and you get the same platform with monthly payments, a subscription sized to what you actually need, help connecting your integrations, a partner line into Vanta support, introductions to auditors who work in Vanta every day, and $1,000 off every penetration test. Already on the Cyber Defense Suite? Your device evidence syncs in from the tools we already run.
Why Vanta, and why through Shadowbear
If you’re like most teams we talk to:
- Sales is bumping into “Do you have SOC 2 / ISO 27001 / CMMC?”
- Security questionnaires and audits are slowing deals.
- Everyone agrees compliance matters, but nobody has time to own it.
Vanta is where most of those teams end up. It connects to your identity provider, cloud, devices, and ticketing, then continuously checks your controls and collects the evidence auditors ask for, so getting compliant becomes a project you can finish instead of a spreadsheet nobody updates. Buying it through Shadowbear gets you the same platform, with a few things you do not get going direct.
What you get
The Vanta platform, in your own account
Your Vanta account is yours, and so are your compliance program, your policies, and your evidence. Shadowbear resells the license; you stay in control of the program.
Monthly payments
Buying direct means paying for the full year up front. Through Shadowbear you pay month to month instead.
A subscription sized to your needs
Vanta comes in plans, frameworks, and add-ons like Trust Center and vendor risk management. We tailor the subscription to the frameworks and deadlines in front of you and leave out what you would not use, so you are not paying for shelfware.
Help connecting your integrations
Vanta is only as useful as what it is connected to. We help you get identity, cloud, devices, and ticketing hooked up so the automated tests run against your real environment.
Someone to ask about controls
When you are not sure how a control applies to your environment, or what evidence would satisfy it, you have a person to ask instead of guessing.
A partner line into Vanta support
Shadowbear is a Vanta partner with a dedicated partner support channel. When something needs Vanta itself to fix, we raise it through that channel on your behalf instead of leaving you to work the general queue.
Introductions to auditors who work in Vanta
We introduce you to auditors who run their audits inside Vanta every day. They already know where the evidence lives, which makes the audit faster, and they usually offer discounted rates through the partner relationship.
$1,000 off every penetration test
Auditors expect a penetration test, usually every year. Buy Vanta through Shadowbear and every Shadowbear penetration test is $1,000 off, with the report ready to drop into Vanta as evidence.
Already on the Cyber Defense Suite?
Vanta checks the controls. The Suite is what makes them pass. If you run the Cyber Defense Suite, buying Vanta through us adds a few things a direct purchase or another reseller cannot offer.
Device evidence from the tools we already run
NinjaOne is on every Suite endpoint, and it connects directly to Vanta. Your managed devices and their alerts sync into Vanta on their own, so device evidence shows up without extra work on your end.
Technical controls that already pass
Endpoint protection, patching, vulnerability scanning, and backups are already running under the Suite, which covers a large share of the technical controls Vanta tests.
We fix what fails, as part of the Suite
When a device drifts (a missed patch, encryption switched off, protection not running), we fix it through the same tools. That is Suite work, not a compliance project.
Training records for the people controls
Advanced and Command tiers include monthly security awareness training and phishing simulations. Completion records go into Vanta as evidence for the training controls.
Penetration testing that fits the audit
Command includes an annual penetration test, and every Vanta customer gets $1,000 off any Shadowbear penetration test. Either way, the report is ready to drop into Vanta as evidence.
Pricing
Vanta prices each subscription individually. Which frameworks you need, how many people and systems are in scope, and which add-ons make sense for you all change the number. Rather than post a price that will not match your quote, we get the specifics from Vanta and come back to you with one.
Tell us:
The frameworks you are working toward, a rough headcount, and any deadline a customer or contract has put in front of you.
You get back:
A Vanta quote sized to your company and your frameworks, the option to pay monthly through Shadowbear instead of a full year up front, and a straight answer on whether it is the right fit.

How it works
Step 1: Quick call
15 minutes to understand which frameworks you need, your size, and any deadline. We confirm whether Vanta through Shadowbear is the right fit.
Step 2: A right-sized quote
We get the specifics from Vanta and come back with pricing tailored to your frameworks, headcount, and add-ons, with the option to pay monthly.
Step 3: Your Vanta account
Your account is set up in your company’s name and it stays yours. We help connect identity, cloud, devices, and ticketing so Vanta’s automated tests run against your real environment.
Step 4: Working through the controls
As you close out each framework, you have someone to ask how a control applies and what evidence satisfies it, plus a partner line into Vanta support when the platform itself needs attention. If you run the Cyber Defense Suite, the technical controls are already covered.
Step 5: The audit
When you are ready, we introduce you to auditors who work in Vanta every day. They know where the evidence lives, the audit moves faster, and they usually offer discounted rates. Need a penetration test for it? Yours is $1,000 off.
FAQs
How is pricing handled?
Vanta prices each subscription based on frameworks, company size, and add-ons, so we get the specifics from Vanta and come back with a quote for your company. Through Shadowbear you can pay monthly instead of a full year up front.
How is this different from just buying Vanta?
Same platform, same account, and it is yours. Buying through Shadowbear adds monthly payments, a subscription sized to what you need, help getting integrations connected, someone to ask how a control applies, a partner line into Vanta support, introductions to auditors who work in Vanta, and $1,000 off every penetration test. If you also run the Cyber Defense Suite, your device evidence syncs in from NinjaOne and the technical controls Vanta checks are already handled.
Do you run our compliance program for us?
No. You own your Vanta account and your compliance program, including your policies and evidence. Shadowbear resells the license, helps with integrations, and answers questions about how the controls fit your environment.
Which frameworks does Vanta cover?
SOC 2, ISO 27001, CMMC, and NIST SP 800-171 are the ones we see most, and Vanta supports a long list of other security and privacy frameworks. We confirm which ones you need on the call.
What happens at audit time?
You run the audit through Vanta with the auditor you choose. We introduce you to auditors who run their audits inside Vanta every day, which usually means a faster audit and a discounted rate, and we are still around for questions along the way.
I already run the Cyber Defense Suite. What changes?
Your device evidence starts flowing without extra work: NinjaOne is already on every Suite endpoint and connects directly to Vanta, so your managed devices and their alerts sync in on their own. Endpoint protection, patching, vulnerability scanning, and backups already cover a large share of the technical controls, and when a device drifts we fix it through the same tools as part of the Suite. Advanced and Command training records go in as evidence for the training controls, and Command already includes the annual penetration test auditors ask for.
